Integrated Health and Social Services Centres (CISSS) and Integrated University Health and Social Services Centres (CIUSSS)

Integrated health and social services centres (CISSS) and integrated university health and social services centres (CIUSSS) ensure accessibility, continuity and quality of services for people in their territory.

They are reference points where people can go in case of health or psychosocial problems. There, they can receive appropriate services or be directed to another resource of the territorial services network.

Other institutions of the health and social services network (4 university hospital centres and 3 university institutes) provide specialized and highly specialized services beyond their health region border. Certain other public institutions also offer services to a northern and aboriginal population.
